This message is for everyone, but especially Trump supporters. Please take a moment to listen to this former firefighter. With heartfelt compassion, he is pleading w/ y'all to come to your senses and join your American brothers and sisters to put an end to this fascist nightmare.
This message from a former Republican is to all the men in this country who give a damn about America democracy and are exited as fuck to have the first Black woman in history as our president.
I am white, live in suburbia, a card carrying union member @AFSCME as an elementary school secretary, have two teenage daughters, friends and family in the LGBTQ+ community, and will be voting for @KamalaHarris to save our democracy!! #iunderstandtheassignment
Something mainstream media won’t report:
There was a Zoom tonight for Black women organizing for Kamala Harris.
The call had a max of 1000 people. They hit it immediately, and got a hold of the Zoom CEO to help.
40,000 people joined. For over 4 hours.
Trump is soooo screwed.
🚨 BREAKING: Hunter Biden releases statement on President Biden's decision:
“For my entire life, I’ve looked at my dad in awe. How could he suffer so much heartache and yet give so much of whatever remained of his heart to others?
“Not only in the policies he passed, but in the individual lives he’s touched.
“Over a life time I have witnessed him absorb the pain of countless everyday Americans who he’s given his personal phone number to, because he wanted them to call him when they were hurting. When their last hopes were slipping through their hands.
“That unconditional love has been his North Star as a President, and as a parent. He is unique in public life today, in that there is no distance between Joe Biden the man and Joe Biden the public servant of the last 54 years.
“I’m so lucky every night I get to tell him I love him, and to thank him. I ask all Americans to join me tonight in doing the same.
“Thank you, Mr. President. I love you, Dad.
I can’t think about Joe Biden without tearing up a little.
This man ran for president 5 times and lost then enthusiastically backed Obama and played the establishment number two to the greatest leader of his generation.
He wanted to run for president in 2016 but couldn’t because his son Beau died and he was too wracked with grief.
So he comes back in 2020, saves the country from Donald Trump and despite being a career centrist, proceeds to have the most pro-union, pro-working class administration in 80 years, pulls the country out of Covid, pulls us from the economic disaster of Trump into the best economy in the world.
He’s then betrayed by the media class and has to drop out because he’s too old for them. He steps down, for the good of the country, and immediately turns around and full-throatedly endorses the the first Black woman Presidential candidate finalist in U.S. history.
This man.
Wow!! Rachel Maddow had the PERFECT response to President Biden stepping down from the election!
Let’s get this everywhere:
“What a man, what a patriot.
Selfless devotion to your country.
He has been a phenomenal president.
He gave us the best recovery from
Covid of any major nation.
He ended the presidency of
Donald Trump and did it
while being decent, civil and honorable!”
BREAKING: Joe Biden is no longer running for re-election.
Now, everyone who pushed for this can apply equal pressure onto Trump — a 78-year-old convicted felon who rambles, slurs words, confuses names, and goes on strange tangents — to drop out too.
For the good of America.
Here’s the thing.
Biden has been a fantastic POTUS — one of the best in my lifetime.
He was never going to overcome the wall-to-wall media coverage about his age.
This sucks, but nothing changes.
Stopping Trump’s Project 2025 is still the most important thing we can do.
BREAKING. Full statement from Vice President Kamala Harris:
"On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. His remarkable legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history, surpassing the legacy of many Presidents who have served two terms in office.
"It is a profound honor to serve as his Vice President, and I am deeply grateful to the President, Dr. Biden, and the entire Biden family. I first came to know President Biden through his son Beau. We were friends from our days working together as Attorneys General of our home states. As we worked together, Beau would tell me stories about his Dad. The kind of father—and the kind of man—he was. And the qualities Beau revered in his father are the same qualities, the same values, I have seen every single day in Joe’s leadership as President: His honesty and integrity. His big heart and commitment to his faith and his family. And his love of our country and the American people.
"With this selfless and patriotic act, President Biden is doing what he has done throughout his life of service: putting the American people and our country above everything else.
"I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination. Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.
"We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win."
